If you’re searching for great seafood in the Beaver State, you don’t have to look far. Here in Oregon, we are lucky to have access to an abundance of fresh, flavorful seafood. Wild salmon, Albacore tuna, Dungeness crab, shrimp, oysters, and rockfish — you’ll find a bounty of amazing catches along the Oregon Coast. While there are numerous exemplary places to go for seafood, there’s one town that’s particularly flush with fresh coastal catches. Newport is a tiny town on the Central Coast that’s a big presence in the Oregon seafood scene, boasting delicious fresh-caught fare on pretty much every corner!

Nestled in the heart of the Central Coast of Oregon, Newport is your quintessential PNW port town, with charming, weather-worn buildings, tons of water recreation…

Newport is most famous for Mo’s, one of the most iconic Oregon Coast spots.

If you’re on the hunt for the best clam chowder on the Oregon Coast, you’ll find it at Mo’s. Mo’s chowder is legendary in The Beaver State, with folks standing in long lines for a big, ole bowl of this crave-worthy meal.

Next up, there’s Ocean Bleu Seafoods at Gino’s, an adorable ramshackle sea shack where dining truly is an experience. If it’s nice, definitely sit outdoors on the quirky little patio!

In terms of fare, you’ll find all the seafood classics on the menu, but we recommend going a bit bold with your choice. Kalamari and Chips is the tastiest twist on “fish and chips” that we’ve ever tried! Delicious.

And if you’re in the mood for surf and turf, look no further than Newport Steak and Seafood, an unassuming spot that’s been serving this delicious dynamic duo for decades.

While you can certainly order a well-cooked steak or fried fish (or both), the bacon-wrapped prawns are, in our opinion, some truly inspired surf and turf.
